Reviews of AA Centre - Sydenham

Had a great experience and chat with Karen today. World class and a standard setter in customer service. Pay rise recommended;)

Got my driving license test today and Karen is amazing and really helpful. Pleasant experience overall.

Had to renew my license today, the staff at AA Sydenham were so lovely and helpful!

I was attended by Karen. She was so helpful and very friendly.

Arrived to this AA at 5.03pm (they close at 5pm), after wasting my time at VTNZ who advertise that they are open until 5pm (when in reality 50% of their business which is licensing closes at 4.30pm). These lovely ladies heard me out, showed me some compassion (I wad driving 6 hours to a wedding the next day), and re-opened the centre just so I could renew my drivers license in time for my trip! FANTASTIC SERVICE WITH A SMILE! Will never visit a VTNZ again, AA FOR LIFE!!!

Great friendly staff, bit of a wait under level 2

I went in to the Centre today to get my driver license renewed. Although it was a long line i persisted. A lovely lady called Leeanne gave me the appropriate form and after about 45 minutes of queuing she then was the lady who served me at the counter. Overall a great experience and Leeanne should be given a pay rise for her service. I am in customer services and wanted to feed back my great experience. Well done Leeanne. Thank you.

Very kind staff. Thorough and worked as quickly as possible. Silvia at licensing was a tremendous help. Kind, welcoming and made me feel like a valued customer.

Excellent customer service over the phone. After a disappointing experience with Riccarton AA this morning. I rang this branch. Answered within 1 minute, lovely phone manner, clear and informative. Thank you! Its much appreciated. Keep up the great work!

**Update I went back! Wendy was super nice, so I'll give them another star.. Waited in line for 25 minutes to be told I need to fill a form out and return to the back of the line. If I did that multiply 25 minutes by the amount of customers in the line at that moment - I would have been there for over an hour and a half. Not poor customer service, just cold customer service. I understand there may have been a sign instructing customers to fill out forms prior to lining up. Maybe consider an alternative system, your sign is to small.

After reading the reviews, I had low expectations. But credit where credit is due. Turned up at 830a, no-one in the queue, technically had the wrong paperwork, but they accepted it. Deb was friendly, made good conversation, asked about my trip, and I was out of there in 5 minutes. EFT-POS not working, but overall, couldn't fault Deb. Great service.

Licence renewal at Sydenham was a breeze. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes including filling out paperwork. No queue at 10:15am. Fabulous friendly and chatty staff at the counter. Couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you :-)

Received excellent service converting my overseas license to an NZ license. Friendly lady at the counter ran through an efficient process, I was in & out in 20 minutes.

Dame it was full ! To my surprise A lady from the AA CENTRE said you here just to pay this , so she took me to desk where I was served quickly in and out thank heavens. Thanks To your staff at the AA Centre .

Super friendly and helpful staff! (horrible building though). Had my drivers license renewed in a second, and they recommended to join my and my husband's aa membership to save 40 $! Great service

Came on a Monday morning to renew my license and only had to wait around 15 mins. Staff very friendly and informed.

Amazing service the staff couldn't have been more helpful getting my licence renewed highly recommend them

Got amazing service from Sue (licensing) & Ed in inspections changing over a personalised plate & helping me with my vehicle. They both went above & beyond. Always find Buchan St the best centre to go to.

5 stars for how the staff and manager performed under difficult circumstances. Super professional and trying their best to look after customers.

went to get international drivers licence - expected to fill in forms and it to be sent away and would have to wait. It was processed on the spot including taking a photo. Great service.
